This is a classic West Coast-style imperial red ale brewed with medium crystal malts, centennial and cascade hops.
The color is a burnt amber with red highlights and the aroma has a spicy hop presence with moderate caramel malt accents.
The taste is a smooth, malty one with a balanced hoppy finish that includes hints of sweet caramel

Red amber beer with a lasting off-white head. Juicy citrus hop aroma with some caramel malt in the background. Sweet caramel flavour with plenty citrus hops, and a good long finish.

Bottle. Pours cloudy amber with a creamy white head and lacings. Nose is caramel, bread and hops. Taste is balanced by both a thick malty backbone and a heavy bitterness. Floral and peachy. Nice

Bottled at Akkurat, Stockholm. Hazy roast red, brief head. Strong aroma of perfumy lychee with estery alcohol and roasty malt undeneath. Fairlysweet with some vanilla, roasty bread with butteer, slivoic and good amounts of grapefruit and mango. Warming and potent, yet slim. the bitterness is kept at relaxed levels in a chocolatey finish.

Pours cloudy brown/amber. Aroma / taste is hoppy with light bitterness, (cheese/earthly like yeast presence), lightly malt with some caramel. Was not really impressed by it. Would try again and get a better opinion.

Bottle. Ruby beer with a light tan head. Grapefruit/pine aroma with richer malts. Caramel, grapefruit/pine resin flavor with some nuttiness and richer malts. Medium-plus bodied. Grapefruit, pine and caramel linger. Good bitterness. Good aggressive balance between malt and hops (it’s not a "balanced" beer, but it comes together nicely).

One word ...YUCK !! Amber with thin fast fading beige head. Alcoholic cyrstal malt nose, light hops. Starts sweet, then some hops, which are immediately overshadowed by a harsh alcohol bite. Unpleasant lasting bitter end. Rough and unfinished like a poor quality barleywine
